Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
Deep in the meadow, hidden far away
A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray
Forget your woes and let your troubles lay
And when again it's morning, they'll wash away.
Here it's safe and here it's warm
And here the daisies guard you from every harm
And here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you
Katniss sung along with him. She has such a beautiful voice. Their kather kissed them each on the head then left the room. "I wish I could sing like you." Said Prim in a hushed voice. Because it is true she does wish she could sing like her big sister. "No I wish I Could sing like you Prim." Said Katniss pushing a few strands of hair out of her eyes. " Katniss how long til christmas?" Asked Prim. "I don't know. But it will come faster if you sleep." Said Katniss. Prim gasps and tries to go to sleep imediately.
Katniss wakes her up. "What?" Prim moaned trying to wipe the sleep from her eyes. "look!" Katniss said joyfully. When she opened her eyes she was amazed. Her father had Gotten a small pine tree from the woods and it was standing in the middle of the house with four whole gifts under it!
That amazed her their family could never afourd a gift for every person. Prim and Katniss ran to their tree. They could smell some bread that their father must have gotten from the baker. Wow four gifts and bakers bread. She couldn't ask for anything more. Her father sleced up the bread and gave them each a slice. Prim and Katniss are sitting down trying oh so hard to be patient. At last their mother wakes up. That means they can all open their presents.

Her mother and Father have a book with healing herbs and some edible herbs that was made by her mothers family. This one is different though, It is made from the fancy factorys from district three. "Thank you." Prim says so completely amazed ny the wonderful gifts she has received she could barely speak.
Prim's mother received this pretty necklace. It didn't have jewels or any of those fancy things they have in the capitol, But it came from the heart and that is all that matters. Katniss Got a bow with a sheath of arrows.
"Wait there's one more gift." Says Prim's father confused. Her mother begins to grin ear to ear. "Yes there is." Says prims mother As she hands the gift to him. " for me?" He asks. "Yes." Her mother says in reply. He tears off the wrapping paper to find a box. He opens the box and pulls out a hunting jacket along with a pair of boots.
